Abstract
In his poem "Die Füsse im Feuer" Conrad Ferdinand Meyer (1825-1898) describes in detail the phenomenon of sudden graying of the hair. The protagonist is a Huguenot nobleman who hosts the man who has tortured to death his wife some years ago without killing him despite ample opportunities. Sudden whitening of the hair has been used as literary stylistic means with the aim to demonstrate extreme psychological stress to the world, without confirmation of its occurrence in each case.Entities:
